Pro-Palestine activists staged a demonstration in the British capital at the weekend to express solidarity with people in Gaza, vowing to keep protesting until "the genocide ends and Palestine is free."

Gathering at the Victoria Embankment Gardens, a group of protesters decried Western governments’ "silence" in the face of ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza, where about 37,600 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, TRT reported. 

Speaking at the rally, Hala, a protester from Gaza, touched on the worsening situation in the enclave, where people are facing hunger and disease.

Criticizing the UK government's stance, she noted that so far the government has not accepted any injured Palestinian for treatment.

"The UK until today has taken zero patients from Gaza. Here we are eight months later in supposedly one of the most developed countries in the world, and not one single person is getting treatments in this country… not one," she said as the crowd chanted, "Shame".
